On the same day, July 28, Volodymyr Zelenskyy plans to visit the National Cathedral in Washington. There will be a funeral ceremony for the late Senator Lindsey Graham, who was one of the active supporters of Ukraine in the US Congress. ### History of Contacts in 2026 This is not the first meeting of the leaders of the two countries this year. The presidents have already exchanged views twice, discussing key security and support issues. The first round of negotiations took place on June 16, 2026, at the G7 summit in Evian, France. Following that meeting, Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that the conversation with Donald Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron "could change a lot". The second contact took place on July 8, 2026, in Ankara, within the framework of the NATO summit. At that time, the key topic of dialogue was the strengthening of Ukrainian air defense systems, as well as the discussion of licenses for the production of Patriot surface-to-air missile systems.
